True.
However, there are similarities in that the officer can pull up proof of license status for both drivers licenses and concealed handgun licenses on their terminal, so the officer knows you are licensed. I also carry a picture of my driver license and all of my concealed handgun licenses on my iPhone and can show that to the officer as well. (I have forgotten my wallet before, or I have forgotten my phone before, but I haven't fogotten both of them at the same time.)
That said, while it is still technically illegal, either the officer is a jerk or a person must have seriously irritated the officer for the officer to cite the individual when the officer already knows they possess a license.
